120 GB SATA SSD for PC and laptop upgrades

This 2.5 inch drive uses 3D NAND and a SATA III interface to deliver sequential reads up to 500 MBps and writes up to 420 MBps. It fits laptops, desktops and ultra-slim notebooks with a 7 mm z-height. The drive is intended as a direct replacement for a mechanical hard disk.

Silent operation with low power draw

Without a heatsink the drive runs passively, so it adds no fan noise to the system. Shock and vibration resistance protect data in mobile use. The SATA link keeps power consumption modest during typical desktop and laptop workloads.

Steady performance under sustained load

Sustained random 4 KB reads reach 95000 IOPS and writes reach 90000 IOPS. The 3D NAND with SLC cache maintains these rates during extended transfers. Endurance is rated at 64 TB written and an MTBF of 1500000 hours.

Questions about this item

How do I install this 2.5" SATA SSD in a laptop that takes a 7mm drive?

Slide the drive into the 2.5" bay, connect the SATA data and power cables, then secure it with the caddy screws; the 7mm height fits ultra-slim notebooks without a spacer.

When will the 3D NAND memory reach its write endurance limit?

The drive is rated for 64TB total bytes written, so typical consumer workloads will take several years before the NAND wears out.

At what point does the SLC cache stop accelerating sustained writes?

After the SLC cache fills, sequential write speed settles at the native 3D NAND rate below the 420MB/s burst figure.
